Welcome to the PREMIER+™ Embroidery Software January 2017 Newsletter. This month we will delve into the features and functions of PREMIER+™ Thread Cache , and how to work with My Thread Databases.
The PREMIER+™ Thread Cache module lets you personalize the PREMIER+™ My Thread Databases you use when changing thread colors in your embroideries. PREMIER+™ Thread Cache appears in the PREMIER+™ ULTRA, PREMIER+™ EXTRA and PREMIER+™ EMBROIDERY software packages.
Thread Cache has three tabs with settings to customize how your threads are displayed. My Thread Ranges lets you select a short list of threads you use often, and set the order they appear in the list. My Thread Databases lets you create custom thread lists with your own titles and change their order for your special projects or add them to your personal thread stash. My Thread Stock holds an inventory of your personalized My Thread Databases that can be printed, or uploaded to the Cloud and viewed on your mobile device by browsing to http://threadcache.premierplusembroidery.com/
For an overview of features, check out Chapter 5 in the PREMIER+™ Embroidery User's guide.
For more detailed information on setting up and using PREMIER+™ Thread Cache, refer to the PREMIER+™ Thread Cache Reference Guide.
Printed documentation is included in new (not upgrade) boxed versions of PREMIER+™ ULTRA, PREMIER+™ EXTRA, and PREMIER+™ EMBROIDERY. You can also find all User and Reference Guides as PDF files in the Documents\Premier+\Guides folder.
This month, let's take a closer look at the components of the PREMIER+™ Thread Cache module , and what you can do from each menu tab. The My Thread Ranges menu is used to customize the short list of thread ranges that appear by default when you select different threads within the PREMIER+™ Embroidery System modules.
The left half of the My Thread Ranges menu contains all the Thread Ranges, itemized by Manufacturer, in a drop-down list.
In the My Thread Databases menu , create multiple custom My Thread Ranges that can contain just threads you own, or specific threads you need for a project.
The left half of the menu lists all Thread Ranges in the Standard Thread Database, including those you have added. Select from Show My Thread Ranges, or Show All Thread Ranges when browsing the existing Thread Databases.
Other Database management tools include Delete a Database , Rename a Database , and Import Threads from an Embroidery .
Other functions for managing specific My Thread Databases include Add New Thread to add newly marketed threads not yet in the existing PREMIER+™ thread database, Delete Thread , Edit Thread , and Copy Thread .
Use the My Thread Stock menu after you have set up custom My Thread Databases, to keep an inventory of how many spools you have on hand.
Adding a New Thread in the My Thread Database is easy. Let's explore how it's done in PREMIER+™ Thread Cache!
Did you know that you can save stitch type preferences as Favorites in the PREMIER+™ Create stitch type Options settings boxes, and also reset stitch type preferences to their default?
